daflewis Posted September 4, 2011 Posted September 4, 2011 (edited) Well, The survey is finally ready! It's taken a fair bit longer that i thought, but i think it will be worthwhile! I'd really appreciate your opinions. The questions are about what setup(s) you currently use and what you like/would like from a string, and there's a chance to add any comments at the end... dangerous.... If there's anything that's not clear, please let me know. I've also been allocated 5 sets of Innovation strings to give away as a thank you for filling in the survey (the type of your choice) so I'll do five draws over the following months. Thankyou so much in advance! Cheers, Daf [url="https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/viewform?formkey=dGxUbzNOWXR6QWxwb21RempXSmRIYlE6MQ"]Daf's Double Bass String Survey[/url] By the way, if you have any (other!) problems or you think anything isn't clear or something is missing, please let me know. Ta. Edited September 11, 2011 by daflewis Quote

daflewis Posted September 4, 2011 Author Posted September 4, 2011 Ah, bugger! I'll take a look...Ta. Quote
daflewis Posted September 4, 2011 Author Posted September 4, 2011 Right... Think it's sorted now, thanks for that guys - not a great start! I wrote it on a Mac, but it's web based (google docs) so should be fine for everyone now... Quote

jakenewmanbass Posted September 5, 2011 Posted September 5, 2011 Done... although I'm already a fan of Innovation... I think they are getting it right. Quote
TPJ Posted September 5, 2011 Posted September 5, 2011 Done as well. I agree with Jake too. I like their strings. Quote
daflewis Posted September 5, 2011 Author Posted September 5, 2011 Thanks guys, hopefully the changes and additions will all be steps in the right direction! Quote
Mr Bassman Posted September 5, 2011 Posted September 5, 2011 Does my trial survey count or will I have to re-do it? Quote

bassadder Posted September 11, 2011 Posted September 11, 2011 Hi Daf Just found this post great idea....... oh and I've filled in the survey. Cheers Laurence Quote
daflewis Posted September 11, 2011 Author Posted September 11, 2011 Once again thank you to everyone - up to about 30 responses so far and lots of great ideas and info - and please don't be afraid to make negative comments - they can often be the most important ones! Quote

I became an endorsee for Innovation, but only well after choosing to use them for myself. Good on you Daf, IMHO the only thing that Innovation/Picato lack is brand awareness; I believe Strings and Things, the parent company, are finally having more of a look at this. Quote
